My sullen songs have taken me far down this darkened road   I have seen the campfires burning, I have heard the drunkards howl   I'm silent in my solitude, I'm quiet as a thief   I have stolen all these hours, I have gotten no relief      My crazy dreams and tragedies have taken me for a ride   But I can see strange glory on the other side   Oh, this has been my misery and the source of my pride   But all along I'm thinking that I've been taken for a ride      Why don't you take me when I'm willing?   Why don't you take me when I'm willing?      But like a stubborn beast when the barn is on fire   I might resist you when you try to save my life   I might resist you when you try to save my life   When the flames rise around us and I can't see the door   This is still my home and it has never burned before      Oh, this is where I've taken my solace and my peace   The walls are caving in but I am still a stubborn beast      Why don't you take me when I'm?   Why don't you take me when I'm willing?
